Nothing today, but I've sure busted 'em in all my years of wrenching on cars, and construction. A couple of the better examples: Mashed a thumb with a 2-pound sledge knocking some concrete foundation forms apart. My eldest son asked, "Why are you saying all those words, daddy?",
as I was ionizing the air in the vicinity. I dropped a disc brake rotor mounted in a mandrel, preparing to machine it. It was hot, so I was holding it with shop towels and it got away from me. About 40 pounds of steel on my right big toe. I was set to graduate from the university at the time I bought my last work boots, so I skimped and didn't pay the extra $10 for the safety toe caps.
I finished the brake job and then went to the hospital.
